Solomon at the reception was very friendly and helpful. I left my phone charge-cable behind and he did send it to me! I Send a self addressed envelope
The place is being renovated, but it isn’t to bad at all, they currently do not have food or drinks but overall the hotel is good on a budget.
I have very noisy neighbours from midnight till 5 am, that would not shut up when asked, constant around to deal with it, so we packed up and went home.
Over all the Hotel needs a good clean, Like the windows they were very drity, was not please because you have to ask to have your room Clean, the Parking well when i got to the Hotel i was ask to pay £35 to park my gar for the, Breakfast i did not see anyone go for Breakfast.
Very much a budget hotel. Condition of building and furnishings were very tatty, door on bathroom didn't shut properly, matress bery lumpy, but if you want somewhere cheap to get your head down it is ok.
Nice hotel, good price easy to find, staff member was great helpful & very pleasant the only downside was the lift didnt appear to be working, but the very nice man on the night reception carried my bags up for me

We stayed in a seaview room for 2 nights although in august due to the circus you only get partial seaview.
Nice budget hotel beds were comfortable small shower and toilet room. General hotel area was clean, shower was a bit mouldy in places, lots of dust down side of bed. The hotel needs to invest in new bedding sadly pillows smelt of stale sweat.
Other wise room was great for budget price just what we were looking for/needed. Stone throw from beach with crossing outside. 5min drive from zoo, close to trainstation. Solomon the host a lovely man nothing was to much trouble for him. Sorted us for parking late afternoon on second day as side street full does cost £7 which is quite expensive but on par for the area.
Would stay again hust bring own pillow

Would come back
Very friendly staff, was upgraded a room as there was availability which was kind of them. Cleanliness was ok, provided with towels and toiletries. Location was great so close to the seafront and pier and everything was in walking distance. Would stay there again.
Although the man who checked us in was pilot the hotel itself should be closed down the carpet in room was dirty the toilet seat wasn’t put on properly I had to clean shower before I could use it there was vomit dried up side of sink beds weren’t made and towels weren’t changed over all it was just a very dirty unpleasant experience that I will never do again!!!!!
I think the place was under renovation. It was room only, however in its day it looked as if it had been a decent seaside family hotel. There had been a bar, a dining area and no doubt there had been a restaurant
Wasn't expecting much from a 2⭐️ hotel, as only needed a room for the night. Shower was leaking slightly, bathroom floor was wet in front of the shower enclosure, toilet seat was broken, heated taul rail was old and dirty. Room windows and tv screen were very dirty. One of the beds wobbled side to side.
Was unable to stay given the state of the room. Website is nothing like the hotel. No air conditioning, furniture very dated, mattress was very thin. No food offered and bar was all boarded up. View from window was old mattress and rubbish. Walked out and had to pay for another hotel
The location was good. The host was lovely but the hotel itself was shabby and dated. The tv didnt work, the shower was dirty. I always strip the bedding when i leave a hotel and the duvet was dirty inside. The bar was closed and i certainly wouldnt want to eat in the restaurant. For the price, you get what you pay for but i wouldnt visit again.
